Being A Learner: Our Inquiry Celebration - A Grandparents Afternoon Tea

Today we had our Kakano Inquiry Celebration which was a Grandparents Afternoon Tea.  The students have been learning about their families and discussing things that make their family special.  
Today each class made an afternoon tea item which was shared across the other classes which meant we had a selection of foods to have.  We had tea and coffee for the adults and juice for our LNS Learners.  
The Room 1 Learners then showed their artwork, writing and read their browsing books to our Grandparents.  The Grandparents commented on how much they loved spending time at school with their grandchildren.   Mrs Cherry wished she was a grandparent of a LNS learner so she pretended to be Karter's Nana!    The LNS learners showed wonderful Respect by letting the adults go first and by passing plates of food around to share.  

Thank you Grandparents for coming along today!

Being a Learner: Mm is for Mlikshake

Our letter of the week is Mm. On Monday we made Chocolate Milkshakes! It was a fun experience. We had to mix the milk and chocolate syrup together in a blender and it made the milkshakes all frothy. Now we are writing about our experience.
